Lord of the Rings movie news

“In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.” These words, first doodled by Oxford professor J.R.R. Tolkien on a student’s exam paper in the 1930s would lead to one of the greatest epics of 20th century literature. Tolkien devoted much of his life to creating a rich history for Middle-earth — recounted in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and The Unfinished Tales. His attention to detail would go so far as to create his own languages and then actually write in those languages. Indeed, it is Tolkien’s attention to detail that makes The Lord of the Rings one of the most challenging projects for any filmmaker. – Film & Video Magazine

"Facebook’s algorithmic and human reviewers seem unable to accurately parse the context and intent of their usage. Whether intentional or not, these moderation fails constitute a form of censorship. And just like Facebook’s dangerous and discriminatory real names policy, these examples demonstrate how the company’s own practices often amplify harassment and cause real harm to marginalized groups like LGBTQ people, communities of color, and domestic violence survivors."

"Minority groups in tech are no strangers to being second-guessed, condescended to, overlooked, underpaid, and uncredited. But seeing Damore’s arguments made public—and, in some cases, seeing them elicit support—was a fresh smack in the face."

Update: A Facebook spokesperson apologized for the mistake and said, "We know how painful it is when someone feels unwelcome or attacked on our platform, and how much worse it must be when they are prevented from sharing that experience with others. We need to do better and are committed to improving our process on these important issues." The site is also working on ways to distinguish between hate speech and its condemnation.

“I felt more secure at my other job. You didn’t have people looking down at you,” Nicole said. Now she works at cafeterias with names like “Epic” and “Living the Dream”, and the distance between the two classes of Facebook worker can feel immense.
